2014 Loring Wine Company Parmelee-Hill Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

14.6% alc., pH 3.91, 125 cases, $40. Release September 2015. · Light golden yellow color and clear in the glass. This is a syrupy ripe, buttery style of Chardonnay that is rich and heady. Aromas of buttery citrus, kiwi and warm brioche lead to flavors of citrus, kiwi, pear, peach, warm brioche, butterscotch and toffee. A very Caliesque style. When sampled the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine had become somewhat ponderous and flat due to lack of acidity. This wine should be consumed in the near term. Score: 87. Reviewed December 12, 2015
